7. just—righteous. filthy conversation—literally, "behavior in licentiousness" (Genesis 19:5). the wicked—Greek, "lawless": who set at defiance the laws of nature, as well as man and God. The Lord reminds us of Lot's faithfulness, but not of his sin in the cave: so in Rahab's case. read more

B. The Consequences of False Teaching 2:4-10aPeter next described the consequences that follow false teaching to help his readers see the importance of avoiding it."Verses 4-10a form one long, complex conditional sentence; 2 Peter 2:4-8 form the conditional statement, and 2 Peter 2:9-10 a the conclusion. This long sentence skillfully combines the different aspects involved in God’s judicial dealings with mankind." [Note: Hiebert, Second Peter . . ., p. 95.] "Now Peter will give us three... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 2:7-9
The reminder of Lot shows that God will not only punish the wicked but He will also extricate the righteous from the judgment He will send on the ungodly that surround them. This example, as well as the example of Noah (2 Peter 2:5), assured Peter’s faithful readers that God would not lose them in the mass of sinners whom He would judge. The destruction of Jerusalem was going to destroy the unbelieving Jews living there in A.D. 70. [Note: See J. Dwight Pentecost, "The Apostles’ Use of Jesus’... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1-22
Warning Against a Threatened Plague of Brutal False TeachersAs of old there were false as well as true prophets, so it will be now. This leads the Apostle to speak about the false teachers, who if they have not already begun-he expects will trouble his readers. Prophets were important persons in the early Church: cp. Acts 11:27; 1 Corinthians 12:28.; 1 Corinthians 14:29.; Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 3:5; Ephesians 4:11. These teachers, who had doubtless been baptised, claimed, it would seem, to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Peter 2:7
(7) And delivered just Lot.—Better, righteous Lot; it is the same adjective as occurs twice in the next verse. These repetitions of the same word, of which there are several examples in this Epistle (“destruction” thrice, 2 Peter 2:1-3; various repetitions, 2 Peter 3:10-12; “look for” thrice, 2 Peter 3:12-14, &c), and which have been stigmatised as showing poverty of language, are perfectly natural in St. Peter, and not like the laboured efforts of a writer endeavouring to personate him. A... read more

2 Peter 2:22 'I entered on this farm,' Burns wrote to Dr. Moore (2nd Aug. 1787), 'with a full resolution, "Come, go to, I will be wise!" I read farming books, I calculated crops, I attended markets, and in short, in spite of the devil and the world and the flesh, I believe I should have been a wise man, but the first year, from unfortunately buying bad seed, the second from a late harvest, we lost half our crops. This overset all my wisdom, and I returned, "like the dog to his vomit, and the... read more
